What's the difference between effusion and fusion?

Effusion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of pouring out; as, effusion of water, of blood, of grace, of words, and the like.
  • (n.) That which is poured out, literally or figuratively.
  • (n.) The escape of a fluid out of its natural vessel, either by rupture of the vessel, or by exudation through its walls. It may pass into the substance of an organ, or issue upon a free surface.
  • (n.) The liquid escaping or exuded.

Fusion


Definition:

  • (v. t.) The act or operation of melting or rendering fluid by heat; the act of melting together; as, the fusion of metals.
  • (v. t.) The state of being melted or dissolved by heat; a state of fluidity or flowing in consequence of heat; as, metals in fusion.
  • (v. t.) The union or blending together of things, as, melted together.
  • (v. t.) The union, or binding together, of adjacent parts or tissues.
